1	Caught by Disorder: Bound States in Random Media more books like this by Peter Stollmann add to wishlist Disorder is one of the central topics in science today. Over the past 15 years various aspects of the effects of disorder have changed a number of paradigms in mathematics and physics. One such effect is a phenomenon called localization, which describes the very strange behaviour of waves in random media. Instead of travelling through space as ... see all copies from $9.71! new only from $9.71! \| first editions
